A preinterventional computed tomography perfusion-based surrogate of corticospinal tract preservation or disconnectivity is strongly associated with functional outcomes after MT. If validated in independent samples this concept could serve as a novel tool to improve current outcome models to better understand intersubject variability after MT in large vessel occlusion stroke.
